SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - World number one Rory McIlroy will return to TPC Harding Park at the crack of dawn on Sunday to fight for a place in the semi-finals of the WCG Match Play Championship after darkness halted his match with England’s Paul Casey on Saturday.

The pair were deadlocked through 21 holes before bad light made it impossible to continue.

McIlroy, who squared the match on the 17th hole when Casey made bogey, could have ended it from 11 feet on the 18th and again from six-feet on the 21st hole but his last putt caught the edge and lipped out.
